Background: In this systematic review, we aim to evaluate the latest evidence on the efficacy and safety of conventional jailed balloon technique and modified jailed balloon technique for bifurcation lesion, and also whether the former or latter is more effective for preventing side branch occlusion during main branch stenting in bifurcation lesions.
Methods: We performed comprehensive search on studies assessing the efficacy and safety of conventional jailed balloon and modified jailed balloon technique for bifurcation lesion from several electronic databases.
Results: There were 908 patients from six studies comprising of 615 in conventional jailed balloon technique group and 293 in modified jailed balloon technique group. Side branch loss was lower in modified jailed balloon technique group, however, the proportion of lesions with TIMI flow <3 in the final percutaneous coronary intervention result was somewhat higher in the modified jailed balloon technique group. The efficacy issue regarding side branch dissection was reported as high as 3.4%, especially at proximal stent edge in conventional jailed balloon technique group, but not quantitatively described in the modified jailed balloon technique group. Zero percent major adverse cardiovascular events at 9-12 months follow up was demonstrated in modified jailed balloon technique group, and 1-5% in the conventional jailed balloon group at a longer observation period up to 2.7 years.
Conclusion: Our study showed that modified jailed balloon technique is potentially better compared to conventional jailed balloon in terms of side branch loss, dissection, and major adverse cardiovascular events. Further controlled studies are warranted for definite conclusion.

Introduction: What interventions effectively prevent postoperative stenosis following endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial esophageal cancer? This study aimed to identify effective interventions or combinations through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Methods: Six databases were systematically searched for eligible studies up to 30 April 2023, on interventions to prevent esophageal stenosis post-ER. Odds ratios (ORs) evaluated stenosis rate (primary outcome) and complications (secondary outcome), while mean differences (MD) evaluated endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) sessions post-stenosis.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of tubomanometry (TMM) in predicting subjective outcome of Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty (BET) in patients with long-lasting Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD).
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Setting: Single tertiary referral center.
Transposition of great arteries (TGA) is a critical congenital heart disease leading to a fatal outcome if timely management is not provided. Management in low-income countries is challenging. A retrospective analysis was carried out at Sudan Heart Center for infants with TGA who underwent balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) from January 2010 to December 2020.

Background: The role of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still in debate. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow on patients' recovery.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials comparing pulsatile and non-pulsatile flow in cardiac surgeries with CPB.

Objective: M6A methylation-regulated macrophages play an important role in the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis. However, their role in lower extremity arteriosclerosis remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to explore the key factors that regulate arteriosclerosis methylation in the lower extremities and the mechanism by which they affect arteriosclerosis by influencing macrophage polarization.
